About this session
- Relaxes the body
- Quiets busy thoughts
- Supports better sleep
Soothing Forest Rain is a two-minute soundscape with no voice and nothing to follow. Rain falls steady and soft over a forest canopy, while a gentle binaural layer sits underneath. Martin Haljaste built it as a simple backdrop you can sink into, listening as closely or as loosely as you like.
It suits the end of a long day, when your mind is still running and you want something to soften the edges. Use it as you settle into bed, during a short break, or as calm background while you work. Because it is short, it also loops easily.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What exactly will I hear?
You will hear steady, soft rain settling over a forest canopy. Beneath it runs a gentle binaural layer, which sits low in the mix so the rain stays in front. There is no voice and no instruction.
Why is there a binaural layer under the rain?
The binaural layer adds a soft, subtle tone beneath the rain to deepen the sense of calm. It is meant to be felt more than noticed. Headphones let the layer come through most clearly, though the rain is pleasant on speakers too.
How can I use a two-minute sound for sleep?
Because the track is short, the easiest approach is to set it on repeat as you settle into bed and let it run until you drift off. The steady rain gives your mind one soft thing to rest on instead of replaying the day.
Can I play it while I work?
Yes. The rain is even and unchanging, so it works as a calm wrapper around a focused stretch of work. Keep the volume low enough that it sits in the background.
How is this different from a guided meditation?
There is nothing to do and no voice to follow. You simply listen, which suits evenings when you are tired of instructions or want sound that fits around other things.
